Nice to a see a friend of the family. :) There's a build step we take care of in the background, so that we can use git as the underpinnings instead of anything proprietary. (The logs on a project show you all the stuff that's happening under the hood.)
This is cool. I’ve been running a few personal projects on Glitch for the past year, and some have grown up enough I’d like to have them run on a more robust platform. Going to give this a try.
Recently I often cannot deploy anything to them due to api.digitalocean.com (proxied by Cloudflare) responding[1] with HTTP 504 and HTML page. When API works, you may find yourself unable to provision new VMs or scale for 10 hours[2].
I really like this. I run my site on a Digital Ocean app that's connected to Github. It's entirely static written in plain html + css but it's so nice to not be managing a server on the backend.
That was also my initial thought. I thought it would be similar to Heroku or Hatchbox. But I see there are lots of information missing on how to deploy a Rails or Django app with databases and redis etc.

For example, my requirement is
- I need Redis as the cache
- I need a cron system to run my cron job
- I need also a PostgreSQL database
Any guide for this kind of deployment to DigitalOcean with this ?
They don't mention it is valid for 60 days. I hate such Shenanigans! :(
